The ATLAS and CMS experiments have observed a process 4,000 times rarer than the production of Higgs bosons.
Claire Lee works for the US-CMS collaboration at CERN. When she’s not taking shifts in the CMS control room, ensuring the detectors are functioning properly and safely, she takes guests on tours and teaches them about the amazing particle physics investigated by the variety of experiments there.
To build the DUNE neutrino experiment and its associated accelerator upgrade, experts invent customized ways to transport fragile, expensive and highly specialized components.
A recent report underscores the importance of energy consumption and cost to decisions about future large-scale particle accelerator projects.
After nearly three years of working remotely, Fermilab group members reconvened at CERN this December to celebrate CMS’ 30th birthday.
A few of the CMS collaborators attending the CMS week at CERN visit ProtoDUNE.
A handful of physicists have prepared the detector for a more sophisticated dark matter search.
On July 4, 2012, researchers at the CERN laboratory in Europe announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. It was a tremendous triumph for the Standard Model of particle physics and confirmed a prediction made nearly half a century prior. In 2022, we celebrate the 10th anniversary of that momentous discovery.
The discovery of the Higgs boson inspired young people around the world to pursue a career in science and technology.
